Mr. Wilkes will be hosting an informational meeting tomorrow, August 1, 2014 at 9:00 a.m in the choir room. He will discuss all things band, including: band competitions, band routines, practice schedules, travelling with the Pride of Salem, etc. This is the perfect time to ask any questions about band in general and the upcoming marching season that you may have as new and returning band parents.

Volunteer Opportunities
Band Parents,
The band boosters have the following volunteer opportunities:
First: We will soon be heading into the basketball season. The band boosters sell concessions at all home basketball games (girls & boys). We are in need of at least 2 volunteers to head up and run the concessions. We also need volunteers to sign up to work concessions for the games. We normally have 3 volunteers per game.
Second: SHS is the host school for the All District Band event. This year it will be held on Saturday, December 7th. We need as many volunteers as we can get for that day to run concessions, run registration, etc. We normally have 3 shifts for the day, so it takes a lot of people to staff the event. The band students will be working with Mr. Wilkes on their duties for the day.
We will have signup sheets at the Booster meeting scheduled for November 7th and hope to have a great response to this call for help. Please consider volunteering for these important events that help the boosters support the band students and the band program.
If you have an interest in heading up the basketball concessions, please get in touch with me as soon as possible so we can begin planning for the season.
Thank you,
Gloria Bryant
Band Booster President
